Our very best release yet!

“This recording is the best sounding piece of music from any of my sources. I have a low six-figure system… Wilson, dCS, c-j class A, and you can really enjoy the beauty of the recording.” Bob Coppersmith.

Volume One of Octave Records Audiophile Masters contains ten of the best recordings we have ever made. From the beautiful piano stylings of Don Grusin, the rich and fiery guitar work of Kyle Donovan and Taylor Sims, the soul-searching beauty of Cellist Josh Halpern’s bowing, to the ethereal beauty of Saffron from The Color of Music, this collection of original DSD recordings is a hand-curated sonic delight.

Volume One of the Audiophile Masters has something for every music lover that wants to stretch the sonic limits of their system. Recorded exclusively on the multitrack Sonoma DSD and mastered by Gus Skinas, each of these musical gems will become essential listening material.

It is available now, but not for long. This is one not to miss out on!

Octave Studios

Octave Studios is a passion project. Ever since Terri and I met back in 1973 in Munich Germany we have been itching to have our own studio again.

I say again because for those who have read my memoirs, 99% True, you’ll know the sad story of how we had connected with record producer and musician, Giorgio Moroder, to open up a studio and produce music for him. Terri’s never quite forgiven me for the fiasco I caused that got us instead sent to Columbus Georgia—which ain’t Munich Germany. 🙁

In any case, better late than never. Octave Records™ has been producing great work out of a leased studio but now it’s time to get rockin’ on building a new state-of-the-art recording facility.

So you know what we’re up to we have two videos to share. The first is our intro walk-through at the new building: a dilapidated manufacturing facility in serious need of a rebuild. The second is a shorter video we made after the demo crew hit a fire sprinkler and all hell broke loose.

Have fun and we will keep you up to date as progress moves forward on the new studio.

Audiophile’s Reference Guide Package

“Hard to imagine that setup alone would have made this much difference. I am shocked. Thank you.”

We’re now running a 4th printing of the Audiophile’s Guide and soon to receive a fresh batch of discs to complete the package. Last I looked we’d delivered more than 5,000 copies. What’s made me ever so happy is the continuing stream of thank you notes. Thank you notes from customers who have found amazing improvements in their system’s performance. It doesn’t take but a Saturday afternoon to make magic with your system. If you haven’t yet gotten your copy, the new batch should be arriving soon.

The book and its companion CD are available together as an easy-to-grab package by going here.
